I don't think you have too, no. I had a cousin who had a DW and didn't have a AHR. However, I was recently in a DW, and they are having their AHR here as well. It's preference really. Good luck with whatever you decide!! ;o)

I can't decide but it's def between 1 and 2! And I like 3 too! I'm no help, sorry. I love Callas!

Welcome! have fun with the planning! You will get lots of advice, info and gossip here! ;o)

I know not everyone is Catholic or Christian but I THINK the meaning of the band going on at the ceremony is the same. Its supposed to be blessed and "seal' or "unit" you two. I copied and pasted this below, I search google for "symbolic meaning behind wedding bands". I always thought that it was a "uniting" type tradition, ? "Early Christian marriages included a ritual that landed the wedding band on the third finger: As the priest recited, 'In the name of the Father, the Son, and the holy Ghost,' he took the ring and touched the thumb, the first finger, and then the second finger. When he said, 'Amen,' he placed the ring on the third finger, sealing the marriage."

I just looked and I didnt see that I had that here at work, but I could be wrong. Yeah I'm not very good with certain programs. I can use excel, power point and some other things but thats about it.....? I must sound like a real jack-a$$.

happy hump day! i created a mass program however i want to change the style of it. i'd rather it be on 5x8 paper, like a booklet with more than one page. Does anyone have this type of template I can use? here is the one I created so far, i am still messing with it...(i hope i attached it correctly, first time doing this) Attachment 2207 massprogramtemplate#2.doc

oh that is neat, i am going to take a look into that. thanks!!

At first i would suggest that maybe she should leave for a bit but after years of the same problems i now just listen and keep my mouth shut. yeah its a shame b/c life is too short to live that way. life is about being happy and sharing it with someone you love and with someone who makes you smile and all that goo-goo gah gah stuff. she cant even TALK to a guy co-worker without him snapping at her (they work together) i just cant stand him. they came to joe's 30th and had to leave early b/c my guests (um yeah some MEN) were being nice talking to her and her man took it the wrong way. they fought all the way home she said. ( just breaks my heart.

If it isn't this guy, chances are the next guy will be the same (or worse). Some people either lack confidence in themselves or project themselves in such a way that makes them a good "victim" and it becomes part of who they are. (Ever have a friend that is in a normal relationship and finds every excuse to end it because the guy is "too nice" or "boring".. more likely than not, he's actually treating her well and she doesn't know how to deal with that.) All you can do is be a good friend but be very honest about how you feel about the person she's with. Let her know you'll be there for her. Sorry that wasn't very helpful but I've been there before and just like your partner, you can't change your friends... or offer help if they haven't asked. u were def helpful! what you said makes total sense. i just hate when women stay in bad relationships like this. i was in one for a long time, very abusive guy, verbally, physically, just a very mean hurtful person, and i stayed there for 2 years or so, until i woke up one day and said "f this". so maybe thats what happens, people just wake up one day, when its there time, but i hate to see her go through it. i take it too personal when i shouldnt, hence its not my relationship.

Quote: Originally Posted by Maura i dont really drink - it usually makes me sick and doesnt relax me at all I dont drink much either, but at night sometimes I'll have a glass of wine to relax me. I can't imagine all the stress you must feel, I'm not there yet, but soon enough I'll be in your shoes. Have you ever tried yoga?? Well, I hope you feel better, let me know if I can help with anything. All your hard work, and dedication will pay off, try to think of that kinda stuff when you are feeling overwhelmed. You seem to handle things so good so just take a step back and breathe. It will all work out.

i feel like dr phil today. i had a good girl friend of mine email and call me about her man, shes sad and confused, and told me they broke up, but she is happy about it cuz she knows he's bad for her, and that she needs time for herself. and after all that, sitting on the phone all day, a few times, she just emailed me and is right back where they started- "back together". does anyone else have any friends like this, and does it make you so sad that they deal with it? it's like, this girl is SUCH a genuine sweet girl and her man is controlling, mean, blames her for stuff, verbally abusive, picks fights over everything, manipulative, belittling, etc. they arent engaged, no kids, both live in diff houses, but have been dating for over a year. they had a huge fight over the weekend (this is every week i hear about a new fight). so we made plans to go to hang out on fri, to take her mind off things - but they are now going to be together. if it was a normal relationship, i wouldnt care, but its not healthy and i hate that she is back with him. joe said to not get involved and that she needs to learn on her own, but i mean,wtf, its my friend and what am i supposed to do, just sit back and watch her take this sh*? ah it gets me so mad. what do people do when they have friends that are in waste of time relationships. of course im going to listen and be there whenever she needs, even if its over and over again, but how can i get through to her that she deserves better
